NINE IS MINE CAMPAIGN


Nine is mine initiative conference was held at Columbus School , C.P . It's aim was to ensure that every child in India has a future. Our first session was about state of education in India , which was conducted by NAOMI JOSE , MR.SIDDHARTH PETER DE SOUZA & MR. MAINAK ROY . In this session we got to know that nearly only 30% children are getting higher education & their is a serious need to aware people about the importance of higher education . We also had a discussion on right to education . Moreover we were also made aware about the conditions of government schools in India. It acted as a eye opener for everyone - 200 girls in one class room are taught by one teacher without fans , without lights , without blackboard & no sanitary facilities -THIS IS THE CONDITION OF GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS . Our next session was on state of health in India by MS. SUKRITI CHAUHAN . We also had parallel sessions on creative media . Bieng the part of the campaign we realized our duty and would definitely take a step in near future .
WE ARE NOT VOTERS,BUT WE BELIEVE THAT THE VOICES OF CHILDREN CAN BE STRONGER THAN THE VOTES OF ADULTS. AND WE KNOW THAT IT IS NECESSARY FOR US TO SPEAK UP NOW TO SECURE OUR FUTURE
